The MRI report shows mild straightening of lumbar lordotic curvature with degenrative changes of lumbar vertebrae in the form of marginal osteophytes at multiple levels. There is partial loss of T2W hyperintensity seen at L5-S1 intervertebral disc- suggestive of disc desiccation. Concentric diffuse disc bulge with posterior central propensity and annular tear and mild ligamentum flavum thickening is seen at L5-s1 invertibral disc level causing mild lumber canal stenosis and resulting in compression of bilateral traversing nerve roots. Mild lower lumber ligamentum flavum thickening is seen, Screening of spine reveals straightening of cervical curvature with maintained dorsal curvature with degenrative changes in the form of small anterior marginal osteophytes from C4 to D1 vertebral bodies. There is partial loss of T2W hyperintensity seen at mid cervical and upper dorsal intervertebral disc- suggestive of disc desiccation.

What Does This MRI Report Indicate?
Hi, These MRI findings are consistent with degenerative spine disease with subsequent moderate narrowing of the spinal canal and compression of the nerve roots at L5-S1 level. The condition seems that may be treated conservatively with NSAID drugs, physical therapy, and spinal injections. These are necessary steps to improve and to avoid surgery. Discuss with a spine specialist about these issues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
